Reisert Celebrates Lincoln’s Virtues

In honor of the 150th anniversary of President Lincoln’s assassination, Professor of Government Joseph Reisert dedicated his Morning Sentinel opinion piece to Lincoln and his virtues. Reisert invited readers to shift their focus away from Lincoln’s presidential accomplishments and examine and learn from his personal “patterns of conduct.” Reisert looks specifically at Lincoln’s integrity, modesty, and courage as characteristics that should be more frequently honored today.
